2 Claims. 1

This invention relates to a method of constructing bow ties, the primary object of the invention being to provide a made-up tie of the bow type, wherein the tie will simulate a hand-tied orselftied tie, the amount of material used in constructing the tie being reduced approximately onethird', thereby permitting of the use of a grade of cloth used in a more expensive tie, in constructing a tie which may be sold at a reduced price.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts, hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a length of cloth material which has been shaped to provide one section of the tie.

Figure 2 illustrates the length of cloth material as folded and sewed along its edges, illustrating this section of the tie in its finished stage.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3, illustrating the padding material used in the tie.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 44 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a perspective view illustrating a pair of sections of which the cooperating member of the tie is formed, prior to the sections being sewed together.

Figure 6 is a perspective view illustrating this member of the tie as completed, with its side edges sewed together and the tie member reversed or turned right side out.

Figure 7 is a sectional view taken on line 1--1 of Figure 6.

Figure 8 is a perspective view illustrating the first step in uniting the members of the tie.

Figure 9 is a view illustrating the strip used in forming the knot which draws the tie together at the center.

Figure 10 is a, perspective view of the tie as it appears when completed.

Figure 11 is a perspective view taken from the rear of the completed tie.

Referring to the drawings in detail, in carrying out the method, I provide a length of cloth material of a high grade quality, of a size and shape as shown by Figure 1 of the drawings. The length of cloth material is provided with a transversely disposed cut-out portion 6, arranged intermediate the ends thereof.

The ends of the cloth material are now folded inwardly until they lie in proximity to the cutout portion 6, the edges of the inwardly folded portions of the length of cloth material being now sewed together and'themember so produced, turned right side out. The adjacent ends 1 provide an opening at this side of the member,

which falls directly opposite to the cut-out portion 6. A: strip of lining material '8 is now posi tioned within the folds of the memberas shown by Figure 2 of the drawings; the length of the lining material being equal to the length of the member as folded. p

The lining material is also formed with aslot which registers or aligns with the cut-out portion 6 as well as the opening between the adjacent ends 1.

The tie also includes another member which is shown by Figure 5 of the drawings as embodying lengths of cloth material corresponding to the material used in the construction of the member 5, the member 5 being what may be termed the wing member of the tie, for a matter of differentiating from the two main members of the tie.

The wing member which is indicated by the reference character 9 embodies sections l0 and l I pointed at their ends, the sections being laid one upon the other and stitched along the marginal edge uniting the sections, whereupon the wing member is turned right side out. A cut-out portion 12 is formed intermediate the ends of the wing member 9, and afiords an opening whereby the strip of padding material l3 may be inserted between the folds of the wing member 9. It will, of course, be understood that the padding member I3, has pointed ends so that it fits snugly within the ends of the wing member 9.

With the two members of the tie so formed, the members of the tie are positioned together, by extending one end of the wing member 9,

through the registering openings of the member shown by Figure 2 of the drawings, in a manner as shown in Figure 8. The knot-forming strip [4 shown by Figure 9 of the drawings, is constructed of a relatively short length of the same material of which the members 5 and 9 are constructed, the length of material I4 being folded as shown by Figure 9, and then wrapped around the center of the connected sections 5 and 9, where the knotiorming section I4 is sewed as illustrated by Figure 11 of the drawings.

Prior to the sewing of the member M, the fastening clip ['5 is positioned on the rear side of the tie, the levers l-B of the clip being extended through openings ll, of the tie, formed by slitting the rear section of the tie. When the knot-forming strip M is sewed, the clip will also be firmly secured to the tie for attachment to the collar with which the tie is used, to secure the tie in position.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided a tie of the bow type which closely simulates the usual bow tie which is hand-tied, the tie having approximately one-third less material in its construction than the usual tie, thereby making it possible to use a high-grade material in a tie selling at a, greatly reducedprice over bow ties of nadeup form; and of known construction, and made of cloth material 01': equal quality.

What is claimed is:

1. A made-up bow tie comprising in combination a pair of cloth wing elements, one of the wing elements having pointed ends, the. other wing element having substantially square ends and having a central slot extending transversely thereof in which the wing member 'havingipoint ed ends is extended, one end thereof overlying a, portion of the front surface of the section having the square endsflaetween the slotand one end the opposite end of the section having the pointed ends overlying the rear surface ol'the seqti n'havin the; squ re ends between the slot and opn site nd thereof. a d. a knot-fumin str p f. mat ial'wranned a ound the wingv eleme ts at the centra portion thereof concealing the slot and providing a bow'ti'eb .3- Avmade-unb w ti eomnri'sin iin combinaments at the eenter portions thereof, providing abow tie.
